But be warned: this episode is a wild ride! Jekel's tangential thinking and tendency to get sidetracked (and increasingly drunk) makes for a hilarious and unpredictable conversation.

As the episode descends into chaos, you'll be left laughing and wondering how Darcy managed to keep his cool. It's like trying to interview a jack russell with ADHD - entertaining, but utterly bewildering! Tune in for a truly one-of-a-kind conversation with the enigmatic Jekel, and experience the madness for yourself. Just don't say we didn't warn you...
